I have a personal hatred for those 2004 Megadeth remasters. The drums on the original versions of Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction had really cool sound, so why the hell meddle with that and give them the same bland preset sound? Of course, extra compressions as well, because why not ruin good things?
Anyway, I'm not the biggest audiophile. But when so many albums are poorly enough mastered that I can easily tell on my middling audio gear, then something is wrong in the industry.
